The sensibilities, wishes and dreams of a society can be read not only from the most modern phenomena - but also from which past epochs of history come to the fore and are reinterpreted for the present. Around 1800, for example, stylistic elements of classical antiquity embodied Enlightenment ideals such as education, freedom and rationality throughout Europe. Around the middle of the century, during the reign of the French Emperor Napoleon III, buildings, furniture and jewellery in the style of the late 18th century took up the pre-revolutionary period and created an idea of continuity. The situation was very similar in the last third of the 20th century with pieces of jewellery in the style of the Victorian era. They countered the cool postmodernism, which deliberately avoided ornamentation, with a warm, nostalgic note. This brooch was created as a reminiscence of this era and is indebted to the star fashion that was extremely popular in the Victorian era. The brooch is made of gold and appears as a multi-rayed star that is entirely set with shimmering pearls. Numerous pieces of jewellery of this type were created in the late 19th century and are among the most typical ornaments of this period. Our star follows these models meticulously. Only details of the workmanship, such as the use of a modern clasp and the use of cultured pearls, reveal that this is a vintage piece. We discovered the little star in London.
